Push the Button

Pushbikes are entering a digital era. Push a button and an electronic signal is sent to a tiny motor that shifts you up or down a gear. No more cable, no more pushing levers and no more waiting. They will cost only 3000$ more. And I am just after purchasing 2 old-stylish bicycles :/. One of them goes to me and one goes for Christina. I hope she won't be disappointed : )

I am not. I am doing very well. Yesterday it took me one hour to get to University (it was raining). Today I made a big progress. Within 33 minutes I reached my workplace. Soon I will install odometer to measure my average speed : ) I love to manoeuvre between all those nice cars stuck in the traffic jam!

But on my way home today it was raining again like hell. If it continues like this I will spend all the money i saved on bus tickets on washing powder : )

I simply have to diarize that Thrilling Tuesday (19 June 2018). That Tuesday didn't start anything special.

Is there anywhere a place on Earth, except for New Orleans, where singers recruit their fans by trimming their hair :) ? Anyway, here is one of the videos of  that rock & roll hairdresser Barbarella Blue (like all well-established Kardashian-like stars in USA Barbarella Blue has Instagram too):  A chatter with Barbarella made me come late to viewing World Cup game at the Botany Lab, Tulane University. Fan W. set up the projector and the live channel before I came. Few colleagues joined us in supporting Poland against Senegal. What a disgraceful game it was for Poland! One deflection off P...

Igatsus

= missing/craving. Today I won't write a lot because I am still ill and in addition I went through stressful and very long IELTS test. Let us listen together a guy who created a band in Estonia called Sun and this song used to accompany me almost everyday thanks to "SkyPlus" radio playing loudly in my ex-workplace in "Green Fairy" Greenhouse in Tartu: Refrain goes like this: Igatsus pole süüdi Do not blame craving Igatsus teeb head Craving does good Igatsus annab teada Craving lets you know Armastus meist inimesed teeb Love is what makes humans out of us I dont have to miss my Estonia anymore. I followed my Estonia to Australia : )

Few days ago my friend Bartek sent to me this picture: It is a view from his window. Transport/communication in Lublin at the time of this white precipitation was paralysed. Bartek asked me to stop uploading pictures of sunny Australia : ) if I want to save him from depression.
